Rookie all you need is a front bead.

Iron sights. Good Enough for Sergeant York.

NRA High Power clinics and matches. And practice sessions with competitors
who are more than willing to pass along information to those in good standing.

Of the choices you listed, go with the Bergara because it's a Remington 700 footprint action.
That means you can get 700 stocks and triggers when you are ready to upgrade from the plastic stock.
None of those other choices have even 10% of the aftermarket that a Short Action 700 receiver does.

My irons for long-range (Palma) cost as much as a scope...

You have 1000 for a rifle do you have at least that for glass?

Exactly

Not hard and fast but a good tule of thumb is to figure $1/yard for glass. Might be more now with inflation.

Don't buy a used rifle. Some rifles just seem to be less accurate. The saying goes to cars as well, don't buy one on a Monday or Friday. The rifles that have accuracy issues get sold and keep going around Gunbroker.

If you want to save, buy a used scope with a great warranty like Nightforce or Vortex. Get the Razor, not PST. Burris and Bushnells are great too. Buy used with confidence.

Accuracy costs $$$$.

Everybody left out dies and components.

Not if he's just shooting on a square range. A fixed SWFA should be more than adequate.

Not if he shoots something like 6.5 Creedmoor. Factory ammo is very good and if he doesn't already have reloading gear he's not going to shoot enough to make it worth buying.
